Echo JS 0.11.0

I don't *really* disagree with what you're saying because negative feedback is worse than no feedback at all, but if you don't take the time to post in here and become an *active* member of a *community*, then what really is the point? I feel that EchoJS is like the "trending" section on social media sites, but for JavaScript. You just take a glance at it every now and then, and if you see something interesting you click it and maybe vote it up. I post plenty of things on here that I would actually like feedback on (using various accounts since half the time I can't remember which password I have on here and why would karma matter without an actual community?) and I think I've only gotten one or two comments...ever. It's actually quite disappointing. I've always been very eager to interact with others and provide feedback on their stuff, but when the community doesn't really seem that accepting (since it's a ghost town) and the site doesn't really offer any simple way to be notified, what do you expect?

I remember when I first started using this site and made a post; since there was no way to be notified of any comments or replies to comments, I checked back in every once in a while so I could respond to any feedback I received. Instead, I realized that most submissions in here never get any comments at all. So now a days, what do I do? I just post something and then never really come back to check on it, because the site itself and its *users* never really make much of an effort to become a *community*.

So while you say people should only post when they have something they *really* want to say, that's not how you build a community. If everyone in the world only spoke when they had something really important to say, only a small group of people would do all the talking, which is exactly the way things are now. I mean, only one out of every two posts on the homepage have comments, and over half of those with comments are just one comment, which doesn't constitute a discussion. So that means, out of all the posts on the homepage, only ~25% of them actually have any discussions at all. That's a pretty pathetic statistic in my opinion.
